63This otherwise predictable romantic comedy does have several genuinely funny scenes, thanks to Monica Potter's comic delivery and charm.
-
50At least the models' avarice and teasing provide a chuckle or two, as their dates line up panting at the door. Purely by default, their contribution makes this a slightly better working-woman romance than "The Wedding Planner."
-
50When the women are onscreen and their relationship is on display, Head Over Heels trips merrily along. But every time the focus shifts to Prinze, the film suffers from a bad case of fallen arches.
-
50As romantic comedies go, this is definitely not one you'd take to the altar, but you might enjoy having a cup of coffee with it.
-
50Freddie Prinze Jr. gives cute a bad name.
-
50The script is soggy and sloppy and Waters is no master of suspense, but he does have a pair of engaging stars flirting in a world of chic New York glamour.
-
Head Over Heels is dopey but nontoxic. If you are 17, there are worse date movies.
-
50This lightweight concoction can't justify a trip out to the multiplex, unless you're a girl between the ages of 12 and 17, but it does provide a launching pad for a group of attractive people.
-
50Although Head Over Heels moves swiftly, has an appealing cast and a serviceably diverting plot, it is nevertheless hard to fall head over heels over it.
-
40A mildly amusing trifle.
-
40Here's my favorite part: It's only 87 minutes long. But for the most part, this movie is just another bland, fair-to-middling vehicle for two emerging, fledgling stars.
-
38Opens with 15 funny minutes and then goes dead in the water.
-
38A bubble-brained comedy with as much bearing on the real world as a Pokemon cartoon.
-
33Bland to dismal.
-
30If you try to imagine a breezy Cary Grant movie in which Grant makes penis and fart jokes, you'll have some idea just how wretched it is.
-
30Head Over Heels whitewashes the originality and, well, weirdness Waters showed in his first film, although it's impossibe to imagine anything starring young poster-pups Potter and Prinze Jr. could be particularly edgy.
-
30Exists in a realm beyond sense, and induces in the viewer a trancelike state, leaving the mind free to ponder the mysteries of the universe.
-
30More of the abundant sight gags and slips of the tongue originate in bathrooms and bedrooms than are actually set there.
-
25It really is terrible the way films are being marketed to teens. They deserve decent movies, but instead they get glop like Head Over Heels. There ought to be a law.
-
25The "Prinze" of terrible movies is back - in what might charitably be called "Rear Window" for morons.
-
25It's as close to nothing as anything could be while still being something.
-
25A lame romantic comedy that is neither romantic nor comedic.
-
20Although rumor and marketing indicate that this is meant to be a comedy, there's little that's funny here.
-
0This romantic comedy is so awfully misjudged and ineptly executed in every department that, while it isn't quite a contender for the "so bad it's good" category, this critic was nonetheless dabbing tears of laughter from his eyes.
-
0Thekind of misfire that makes you understand why every waiter, parking valet and sushi delivery boy in Beverly Hills has a screenplay under his waistband.
